Well... I'm off on this "birdhouse" tangent... you've likely heard about it. I thought it might just be two weeks... rounding out April... but I'm still there. And yet... I keep searching for great birdhouse photos... I mean great ones... interesting... not cute birdhouses... but realistic ones... natural ones... ones with good texture or unusual lines but still good for birds...

I don't have a birdhouse. I don't know that there's ever been one in any yard of any house I've lived in...

But... do YOU have one? I'd love to see photos... provided you realize that I might sketch from them if you post them. If you've got great birdhouses in your yard or near you, take a photo, put it at Flickr, and let me know. I'd love to see!

This is a reminder that the CMP Postal Letterbox Ring is starting June 1 (or thereabouts). We're sending letterboxes through the mail... with log-books and hand-carved stamps on the theme of "Spring." When you receive a box, you stamp your book (at home) and then stamp your own stamp into the letterbox book, and mail it to the next person. If you're interested in finding out more, Kris has posted some excellent information on the CMP Postal Blog... to read the blog, or to sign up, contact Kris at jehmen@sbcglobal.net.

See you there!
